Xiao Wen finally made up her mind, sat up straight, and hesitantly called out, "Sister Liu Jia..." Liu Jia turned her head and asked impatiently, "What?"
Xiao Wen took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and spoke directly, "Sister Liu Jia, ever since your news broke, all your endorsements, advertisements, and collaborations have been canceled. Public relations also... you..." Before Xiao Wen could finish, Liu Jia slammed down the beer in her hand, "They're all fair-weather friends! Canceled? Fine, I don't care!"
Xiao Wen was startled by Liu Jia. After speaking, Liu Jia opened another can of beer, drank it, and said, "The company? Heh~ When I was making money, they treated me like a treasure. Now that my reputation is ruined, in their eyes, I'm nothing. They wish they didn't know me, hahahaha..."
Liu Jia sneered and glanced at Xiao Wen, saying, "What are you still standing here for? Get lost!" Hearing this, Xiao Wen felt a sense of relief. She stood up and said to Liu Jia, "Sister Liu Jia, I'm leaving now. Drink less." Then she hurried away.
After Xiao Wen left, Liu Jia felt even more unhappy and continued to drink alone.
Not long after, there was a "knock knock knock~" at the door. Liu Jia thought it was Xiao Wen returning and impatiently put down the beer in her hand, walked over to open the door, and was about to scold when she saw the person outside and stood frozen as if struck by lightning...
Yue Ran was standing at the door!
The moment Liu Jia saw Yue Ran, she was first stunned, disbelieving. After reacting, she was overjoyed.
Looking at Yue Ran's appearance, his clothes were the same as the ones he wore on TV just now. This meant he came directly to find me... Liu Jia became happier the more she thought about it.
Yue Ran frowned and looked at Liu Jia, who was still stunned at the door. He didn't want to find this woman in the first place. Thinking about what she did, seeing her made him sick. Now, her expression made him even more disgusted...
Yue Ran spoke unhappily, "What?! Is this how you treat guests?" His disdainful expression was unconcealed.
When Liu Jia heard Yue Ran speak, she snapped back to reality and frantically tidied her hair, tugged at her clothes, and looked at Yue Ran helplessly.
"Yue Ran?! You... why did you come looking for me? Is it..." Liu Jia stammered, "Come in quickly!" She made way for Yue Ran to enter.
Seeing her like this, Yue Ran became even more contemptuous. He didn't want to go in, but thinking it would be bad if someone saw them standing at the door, he forced himself to enter, suppressing his discomfort.
After Yue Ran entered, Liu Jia was ecstatic. It seemed Yue Ran still cared about her. He must have said that earlier because he didn't want everyone to know. And now he's here to find me, he must be here to help me...
Hope flickered in Liu Jia's heart, and she quickly followed him.
Yue Ran walked into the living room and looked at the mess. He also saw the discarded beer cans and boxes of beer. He sneered in his heart: Hmph, a man can live if he offends heaven, but not himself. Who is she putting on this act for?
He turned to see Liu Jia approaching, looking at her happy face. Without guessing, he knew what she was thinking. Yue Ran smiled. Seeing Yue Ran smile at her, Liu Jia became even more excited. Before she could be happy, Yue Ran's next words sent her from heaven to hell...
"Liu Jia, it doesn't feel good now, does it? You're like a rat crossing the street. What? Afraid to go out? Hiding here and drinking alone." Yue Ran was still smiling as he said this, but Liu Jia couldn't feel any warmth from his smile. She only felt cold, so cold...
Seeing Liu Jia's dejected look, Yue Ran continued, "When you harmed Shi Xinxin, you should have known that retribution would come. This is your own doing!" Yue Ran showed no mercy. The more Liu Jia heard, the colder she felt. The happier she was just now, the more sorrowful she was now.
Yue Ran didn't give Liu Jia a chance to speak. "I warn you, don't ever try to harm Shi Xinxin again, or don't blame me for being rude!" With that, he left without looking back.
"Bang!"
The sound of the door closing seemed to hit Liu Jia's heart heavily. Something in her heart "crackled" and shattered...
Liu Jia collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face...
It took a long time for the Liu Jia incident to gradually fade from people's lives, though it was occasionally mentioned by one or two people.
The film crew had to temporarily halt filming due to the significant impact of the Liu Jia incident. After the storm passed, they resumed filming.
...
"Master, wake up, Master, wake up..."
"Slap!" The person in bed, unable to bear it any longer, slapped the alarm clock silent and pulled the covers over their head to continue sleeping soundly.
After a while, the person in bed suddenly sat up. Shi Xinxin looked at the alarm clock. "Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late!" She scrambled out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
It turned out that yesterday evening, Xiao Mi had called Shi Xinxin to tell her that filming would resume as normal today and reminded her to get up early.
However, Shi Xinxin hadn't had much to do recently and had gotten used to sleeping in. She didn't react immediately.
In less than five minutes, Shi Xinxin came out. She casually pulled out a piece of clothing from her wardrobe and put it on. Looking at the time, she knew she didn't have time to put on makeup. After thinking about it, she decided to go without. Shi Xinxin directly grabbed a mask, hat, and sunglasses, fully disguised, and went out.
The film set.
At the entrance of the shooting studio, Xiao Mi was pacing anxiously, constantly checking the time and looking outside. She kept picking up her phone to make calls, but it seemed no one was answering.
Finally, Xiao Mi saw Shi Xinxin running from a distance. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward, saying, "Xinxin, did you forget again that you have to report to the set today? You scared me to death. I couldn't reach you on the phone."
Shi Xinxin was panting. After catching her breath, she said, "Phew~ Just in time, just in time. I made it. Did I not hear the phone ring?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone and looked at it. Oh no, I'm such an idiot, I put it on silent...
Shi Xinxin looked at Xiao Mi and said ingratiatingly, "Oh Xiao Mi, I was wrong. Let's go in quickly!"
Xiao Mi sighed helplessly upon hearing Shi Xinxin's words. "Alright, alright, it's just in time. Let's go in. Remember to be earlier next time."
With that, she entered the studio with Shi Xinxin.
After entering, Shi Xinxin looked around. She didn't see Yue Ran and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. Ever since that incident, I don't know how to face him.
As Shi Xinxin was thinking, the director walked over, "Xinxin, Yue Ran has already gone to get his makeup done. Hurry up! We need to save time. You have scenes together next."
"Ah? Okay, Director, I'll go right away!" Shi Xinxin replied, stunned. The director patted her shoulder and walked away.
Shi Xinxin slowly shuffled towards the makeup room, inwardly exclaiming: Ahhhhhh, I don't want to see Yue Ran, what should I do? Waiting for help, urgently!
